I've seen what animals American soldiers can be in leaked army videos, something that is probably censored in the US I don't know. But they think and pull the wool over peoples eyes that they are innocent heroes (and criminal actions are covered up through immunity, eg. many rapes occurred around the US base in Japan, many ending up without criminal charges). Just like many of the police in America, they remind me of how the army and the secret police in Nazi Germany worked, like an apathetic well-oiled machine. If the POTUS placed an executive order to round up and kill Muslims in the US, do you think they would obey? Of course they would.
This is what happens when guns are normalised into how you grow up. Gun stands for violence. If you think gun stands for peace, there is something wrong with your head.
Armed forces are meant to defend the fort, not occupy and occupy, not to start wars, or to cause a country to implode. The US military is an aggressive machine. Go bomb that country, don't worry about the collateral; more than happy to oblige. And it tends to be in God's name. And cleverly they tend to make other countries complicit in it, to do their dirty work (NATO).
The way America acts in the world, and how it manipulates the public through propaganda, weapons of mass destruction, 2 million people protesting against their government 'rather than against bombing', is pure evil.
America is a country of many closet fascists, who hide it under the pretence of 'doing good'.
It would be nice if for a change, America decided to bring peace to the world. Discussions with North Korea, discussions with Syria, acceptance of Russia's safe zones in Syria. The fact is there is an end goal and I'm not sure what it is. But a country spending trillions on it, is certainly not for charity, for God, or for doing good. Maybe it is just weapons marketing? I mean, they need a testing ground for their new weapons? Hey look, tested our Mother Of All Bombs, want to buy some?
Without American intervention, many of the terrorists who have acted, and terrorist groups such as ISIS, would not exist or be so powerful. Aggression creates aggression, it's simple mathematics. And with American coordination of incursions in the Middle East, the collateral has become the European Union. Maybe even, that was intended? I would not be surprised.
I'm a pacifist, but I do agree that having an army for defence is important. But that is all.
